In England all domestic sockets are 3 pin, with an earth. You can quite easily buy a device that plugs into the socket and has 3 press studs on the back that connect to the earth. These are usually made for connecting ESD straps to. I know RS sell th

It would, but is it correct? This is what QA came back with. "Think of a chassis, connected to earth ground, sitting on top of a mat. In this situation, we are bypassing the meg-ohm resistor to ground." If the mat, the operator and the test equipmen

It is important that the ESDS device, the operator, and the work surface maintain the same elctrical potential. ESD events take place when objects of different electrical potentil come in contact with each other. When these different charges equalize

Hmm, let say that that You have a huge body who takes the lead, with no heels and not properly grounded to the earth; T1 or T2?

Hi, 1) Was reading the links provided by Dave F, under the thread "waste" which was about the ESD grounding of drums. 2) thanks to Dave F, now have "back-bone" refer sources to explain ESD terms to those who ask and seek to better understand this n

I am trying to teach a class and the question came up about loss of metalization of the Earth pad on a chip filter. This pad is on the side of the component. I can not find a IPC call out for this type of side termination other than 3 or 5 sided 9.1.

PROPER GROUNDING OF THE "OBJECT" PCBA BOARD: You cannot ground an insulator. Insulators accumulate a charge, but the charge must be neutralized, usually by ionization. We only use ionizers at tape stations and bins where travelers and other paper

Leather is not very insulative. AFAIK a lot of good quality dress shoes are naturally ESD safe. (or maybe test too low.) Check the dress shoes with a tester. And I'm guessing that stapling the straps is out of the question.

Russ if your asking me if covering the surface of the granite defeats the purpose then I'm lost. An ionizer is a very good suggestion but they are not inexpensive. If the table is grounded and the metal bars are on a grounded mat, laminate etc. then
